“Tanks” goodness the funny bimbo “sistel” Barbarella will be back soon. “Everybirdy” seems to love her very much.

Yes, Michelle Chong will return to star in the latest season of comedy sketch show The Noose after being absent from the popular TV show for one year. Next week the actress-director starts shooting episodes for Season 7 of the Channel 5 programme, which will premiere in April. She tells this to Life! in an exclusive interview, during which she also reveals that plans are underway for a movie about Chinese KTV girl Lulu, another of her beloved Noose characters.

Chong, 36, says that she is “very excited about creating new material” for cartoonish character stereotypes including Barbarella, the ditsy girl who has a penchant for dating Caucasian men, and Filipino maid Leticia Bongnino.

“Even now at parties, people are still saying ‘Good morning, Ma’am, good morning Sir, my name is Leticia’, whenever they see me.
